Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát 21st Annual Pow Wow
September 28, 2024 marks the 21st anniversary of the Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát annual Pow Wow.
This year continues the collaboration between the Shatitsirótha’ À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Indigenous Student Centre (WISC) and the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR). This one-day non-competitive celebration of Indigenous heritage features vendors, dancers, and singers from the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ region and beyond. Join us as we celebrate Indigenous culture and tradition through song, dance, arts, and cuisine. Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát Pow Wow is intended to be a safe, welcoming, and vibrant opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks from the UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community and beyond to gather in celebration of indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation.
This remarkable event is free to attend and welcomes everyone to join. We gratefully acknowledge the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Athletics for their vital support in making this celebration possible!Â
